    Henry calls for central role

    26 Sep 2008 - 12:48:52

    Thierry Henry has warned Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola that he is losing patience with being asked to play in a wide left role.

    The France striker struggled to recapture his best form during a frustrating first season at the Camp Nou where he was employed mainly in a wide role by former coach Frank Rijkaard.

    Henry held talks with Guardiola following his appointment in the summer when the striker claimed he was assured of a more central role this term.

    But the former Arsenal forward has revealed his unhappiness that the majority of his appearances this season have again been on the left wing.

    "For the moment, there is nothing to talk about," he said. "But if this continues, of course we will have to talk about it.

    "It is true that I had talks with the coach before the start of the season. For me, the talks were clear."

      Henry truly deserves the central forward role in Barcelona and again I warn that if Victor Valdez does not give way to another keeper, Barca will continue to absorb cheap goals.
